We head across rolling Kent countryside, where our steam train 'The Jewel of the Weald' will be waiting, in the shadows of mighty Bodiam Castle, to take us on a 50-minute journey through the Rother Valley.
It is one of the UK’s finest example of a rural light railway. Disembark at Tenterden for the short journey to Great Dixter, an historic Tudor house, complete with a Great Hall dating back to the 15th century. Its gardens are highly regarded by horticulturists throughout the world.
